Batch File not Correctly Running Through CMD

Question

My python script simply opens up google.

Batch Code ::

@py.exe "C:\Users\Hey\Desktop\C.Outlet\Computer Science\Python\TryingToScrape.py"
pause

Python Code::

#! python 3.7 
#Web Scraping

import webbrowser

webbrowser.open('www.google.com/')

I can't get it to work, and I this is my end result

C:\Users\Hey\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\python.exe: can't open file '3.7': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

C:\Users\Hey>pause
Press any key to continue . . .

Works in IDLE, not through cmd I guess? Need that overflow insight

I have a feeling its the comment at the top of your code... – marsnebulasoup May 01 '19 at 21:33 — marsnebulasoup, May 01 '19 at 21:33

It's the line (shebang) #! python 3.7 in your code. I've reproduced the error, and removing it lets the code run fine.

Original:

#! python 3.7 
#Web Scraping

import webbrowser

webbrowser.open('www.google.com/')

Working (tested):

#Web Scraping

import webbrowser

webbrowser.open('www.google.com/')
